UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.

LENNA RYLAND WINSLOW, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.

VOTING-MACHINE.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LENNA R. VINsLow, a citizen of the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Voting-Machine, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to voting machines, and while, for clearness of illustration both as to construction and operation, it has been found expedient to illustrate and describe all of the essential parts of the voting apparatus, including counters, counter-actuating devices, main, secondary, auxiliary and supplemental interlocking` devices, as well as limiting` devices, the novel features of which are embodied and claimed in other copending applications, the principal obj ect of the present invention is to provide a simple and eflicient construction of booth and means for disposing the same with reference to the casing which incloses the voting apparatus; to provide a novel construction and arrangement of total counters and means for operating the same whereby an accurate record of the admission to the booth, the total number of voters and the total numbers, respectively, of restricted and unrestricted voters may be secured independently of the vote counters, in order that a. suitable check on the operations of the machine may be obtained; and to provide simple and etlicient voter restricting mechanism applied to the means for operating the individual counters and to the means for operating counters related with mechanism devoted toamendment and proposition voting, and adapted for operation by means which control access to the counteractuating` devices or entrance to the booth, whereby the mechanism is automatically set to restrict certain classes of voters by and during their entrance to the booth.

Further objects and advantages of the invention will appear in the following description, and the novel features thereof will be particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that various changes in the form, proportion, and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacriiicing any of the advantages of this invention.

In the drawings-Figure 1 is a perspective view of a voting machine and booth embodying the invention. Fig. 2. is a plan View of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of a Specification of Letters Patent.

portion of the voting mechanism partly in section, the tops or covers of the boxes or the tally mechanisms being removed. Fig. 3a is a similar view showing the opposite end of the machine to that indicated in Fig. 3. Figs. 4iand 1 are elevations of opposite end portions of the machine. Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view of a portion of the voting mechanism at the end indicated in Fig. 3a, showing thc arrangement of the parts when adjusted for class voting. Fig. 6 is a plan view with the intermediate portion of the machine broken away, and with the tally mechanisms covered and the auxiliary or full-stroke interlocking devices omitted, to show the restrictive mechanism for the proposition and single-ticket voting devices, and also indicating the tally mechanisms for registering the restricted, unrestricted, total-vote and total-admission counters. Fig. 7 is a transverse vertical section taken in a plane indicated by the line 7-7 of Fig. 3a. Fig. 8 is a transverse vertical section taken in a plane just inside that end wall of the machine which is indicated in Fig. 3. Fig. 9 is a transverse vertical section taken in a plane just inside the end wall shown in Fig. 3a to show the limiting mechanism. Fig. 10 is a detail view of the secondary interlocking mechanism, the individual vote-restricting mechanism, and the replacing bar for the latter. Fig. 11 is a detail view of a portion of the restricting mechanism to show the means for arranging the restricting pins in operative position. Fig. 12 is a plan View of one of the arms of the shaft by which the restricting pins are actuated. Fig. 13 is a detail view of one of the restricting pins. Fig. 1a is a detail plan view showing the relative arrangement of parts including a portion of the releasing frame, the secondary locking block guide, a block arranged therein, a spacer, the limiting bar, a restricting pin and means for supporting and operating the same, and the replacing bar for the restricting pins. Fig. 15 is a detail sectional view of the counter and actuating devic-es, arranged in their normal positions. Fig. 16 is a view of the same with the parts in their voted positions. Fig. 17 is a plan view of the same, the operating element of the counter-actuating devices being omitted. Fig. 18 is a plan view of an operating element of a counter-actuating device. Fig. 19 is a detail view of the false dial and the
